[Intro] [Soft ethereal instrumental] [Keyboard accompaniment] [Verse] I cannot help but Be utterly honest and Say that I have been Derelict in my duties and Lounged about more than I had any right to [Thick bass guitar instrumental] T'were only right that I was called out to My face with no Hesitation For my negligence and Failure to live up to What I could have been [Thick bass guitar solo] [Bridge] But I cannot-... You say I am talking In too overwrought of A manner? T'were but How I was raised to speak I can only offer apologies But I can try to modulate My manner of speech Allow me to try? [Thick bass instrumental] [Chorus] Indolence Laziness I am guilty of The crime of letting Potential go to waste Mayhaps it is not A crime in fact But it felt wrong to me Indolence Laziness I let the hurt fester And drive me to inaction I will try to do better And break the inertia [Outro] [Thick bass solo] [Fade-out] [End]
